Artificial Intelligence 2025 Legislation

NCLS – Artificial Intelligence 2025 Legislation Updated March 22, 2025 – “AI—the use of computer systems to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning and decision-making—has the potential to spur innovation and transform industry and government. As AI advances and widespread adoption of these tools increase, government, business and the public are exploring the risks and benefits of using the system for different applications. State governments across the country are starting to use or examine how AI can be used to improve government services such as enhancing customer service; improving health care facility inspections; and improving roadway safety. Legislators, industry and other stakeholders have engaged in robust discussions regarding the concerns about potential misuse or unintended consequences of AI. Over the last few years, more and more states have introduced AI-related legislation. In the 2025 legislative session, so far, at least 45 states and Puerto Rico introduced at least 550 AI bills. Last year, Colorado passed the first-in-the nation comprehensive AI regulation focused on consumer protections and safety. In at least eight states thus far, legislators have introduced similar comprehensive AI regulation bills with a focus on high-risk systems and preventing algorithmic discrimination. Virginia passed the High-Risk AI Developer and Deployer Act recently. Texas introduced the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act which has similar elements to other algorithmic discrimination measures, but the bill also creates a regulatory sandbox for AI testing and includes workforce investments, among other unique elements. Other proposals from states target specific AI uses. For example, at least 19 states have introduced legislation related to setting rental housing prices through algorithms. This webpage covers key legislation related to AI issues generally. Legislation related solely to specific AI technologies, such as facial recognition, deepfakes or autonomous vehicles, is being tracked separately.”
